I’d like to acknowledge all the HSC teachers of our 2021 cohort who, like the students they taught, faced a lot of adversity in these last two years. We know that behind each set of results (whether they feature in the headlines above or not) there are stories of courage, persistence, ingenuity and sheer grit by both teachers and students. I am also thankful to Mr David Lindsay and the Senior College team and, in particular, Eleni Tatsis our Director of Learning – Senior College and to our exceptionally talented and hard-working Heads of Department, who live every step of the journey with each class that graduates in their subject.

– Dr Julie McGonigle, Head of School
